Engaging with the concept of volume and capacity can be an exciting part of the maths curriculum, and a series of worksheets has been crafted to help students grasp these measurements in practical scenarios. The first worksheet prompts learners to decide whether millilitres or litres would be the most appropriate unit to measure the capacity of various items, fostering an understanding of scale and suitability of units. Subsequent worksheets delve deeper, asking students to measure the volume of liquid in measuring jugs, with the first focusing on millilitres and the second introducing mixed units, challenging students to answer in both litres and millilitres.

Further activities involve conversion between units, where students complete tables converting millilitres to litres and millilitres, and vice versa, reinforcing their understanding of the relationship between these units. Another worksheet presents real-life scenarios where students must convert measurements to answer questions about volume and capacity, such as determining which container holds the most or the least, and solving practical problems involving spills and pours. The final worksheet combines addition and subtraction of volumes in different measures, asking students to calculate totals or differences in millilitres, thus applying their mathematical skills to everyday contexts.
